Notifications from KAYAK, Expedia, etc on airline tickets

This is a spin off from my thread about best way to get best price on tickets.
My question is, other than KAYAK, how do I get notifications of price drops from other brokers? I downloaded Kayak, Expedia, Priceline, and Orbitz.
Kayak is the only one that will send me notifications on price drops for a flight I searched.
Priceline has Express Deals, but they are not refundable, transferable, etc.
Am I missing something on Orbitz, Priceline, and Expedia?
Are there others I need to download?

Why not just use Google Flights?
Set a notification and you get an email each day when the price changes

Thanks, just did that, but the prices that came up on Google Flight are much higher than all the others as of right now ($300 per ticket higher)

I usually find Google Flights to be more accurate. Did you try to book anything from the other sites? Sometimes they are not up to date and the flight actually isn't available.

Yeah google flights and kayak are the two I use.
As said, google flights pulls data straight from he airlines so it should be very accurate. The others you never really know for sure.
If you are looking for a specific flight/ route it may be worth signing up through that airline for notifications of deals. Like condor airlines or if you are going to Germany Lufthansa.

Another tip, is to search Incognito or whatever your search engine calls it. They will definitely track you and know you are checking regularly, and not show you the cheaper tickets.

Ok, it's been a week since I set up the notifications with Kayak and google.
I have received an update every day from Kayak, but nothing from Google.
Kayak prices dropped everyday about $10-$12 a day, but jumped back up $56 today.
